    I wonder if putting a neat small blob of putty like blu-tack over the rub sign would help seal it from the effects of HP. But I have no idea how HP would react to blu-tack. Just an idea.

    In my experience, bluetak discolors plastic when in contact with it for a long period of time. However I have no idea what the effect of it with Hydrogen Peroxide would be.

    Well I guess the idea would be to not have the blu-tack covering any plastic, just a square shaped blob the size of a rub-sign as a base.

    How blue-tak effects the rub-sign, I wouldn't think it would do much but it would probably be a lot better than having it immerse in HP.

    Final result on Vroom. I must say that all of the yellow on his chest and head is gone! I am thrilled by the results!



    Right now I have the back of his lower legs on H2O2 mainly out of being pedantic since the only yellowed area are the tiny side fins. I will assemble him together later tonight or tomorrow if they need a bit of time.

    In the mean time I will let the shell dry and then peel of the worn stickers as they look horrible.

    Final pic with Vroom assembled and some paint chips touched up:



    A bit of bad lighting but I will try to take a better pic under natural light.
